5abf83f95d Change log for April 16, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.107 spec update:
* Update release number to 107.

Public Issues:

  * Fix revision date for the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` appendix
    (public issue 617).
  * Make <<synchronization-pipeline-barriers-subpass-self-dependencies,
    subpass self-dependencies>> less restrictive (public issue 777).
  * Fix the `<<VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive>>` dependency on
    `<<VK_KHR_win32_surface>>` in `vk.xml` (public pull request 849).
  * Remove single-page (`apispec.html`) refpage sub-targets from the
    Makefile `allman` target and the build instructions. The target is still
    present in the Makefile, but we have not been actively maintaining the
    single-page document and do not promise it will work. The full
    Specification and the individual API reference pages are what we support
    and publish at present (public issue 949).

Internal Issues:

  * De-duplicate common valid usage statements shared by multiple commands
    or structures by using asciidoctor includes and dynamically assigning
    part of the valid usage ID based on which command or structure they're
    being applied to (internal issue 779).
  * Add reference pages for constructs not part of the formal API, such as
    platform calling convention macros, and script changes supporting them
    This required suppressing some check_spec_links warning classes in order
    to pass CI, until a more sophisticated fix can be done (internal issue
    888).
  * Change math notation for the elink:VkPrimitiveTopology descriptions to
    use short forms `v` and `p` instead of `vertex` and `primitive`,
    increasing legibility (internal issue 1611).
  * Rewrite generated file includes relative to a globally specified path,
    fixing some issues with refpage generation (internal issue 1630).
  * Update contributor list for `<<VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps>>`.
  * Fix use of pathlin in `scripts/generator.py` so the script will work on
    Windows under Python 3.5 (internal merge request 3107).
  * Add missing conditionals around the
    <<descriptorsets-accelerationstructure, Acceleration Structure>>
    section (internal merge request 3108).
  * More script synchronization with OpenXR spec repository (internal merge
    request 3109).
  * Mark the `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float>>` and
    `<<VK_AMD_gpu_shader_int16>>` extensions as deprecated in `vk.xml` and
    the corresponding extension appendices (internal merge request 3112).

New Extensions:

  * `<<VK_EXT_headless_surface>>`

35e7bee5f0 Change log for March 3, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.102 spec update:
* Update release number to 102.

Public Issues:

  * Simplify flink:vkGetImageMemoryRequirements constraint for
    ename:VK_MEMORY_PROPERTY_LAZILY_ALLOCATED_BIT (public pull request 817).
  * Fix typo in markup of the <<textures-texel-coordinate-systems-diagrams,
    Texel Coordinate Systems, Corner Sampling>> image that was generating
    complaints from chunked HTML output generation (public pull request
    928).

Internal Issues:

  * Split the old <<features, Features>> chapter into four chapters:
    <<features, Features>>, <<limits, Limits>>, <<formats, Formats>>, and
    <<capabilities, Capabilities>>, with minor edits to the introductory
    paragraph of each chapter. Anchor names in these chapters were changed,
    with corresponding effects to xrefs to these anchors elsewhere in spec
    markup . The purpose is to make the chunked HTML spec output load faster
    on what was previously a single, gigantic chapter (internal issue 1554).
  * Add ename:VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_RAY_TRACING_SHADER_BIT_NV, to the supported
    pipeline stages for ename:VK_ACCESS_UNIFORM_READ,
    ename:VK_ACCESS_SHADER_READ, and ename:VK_ACCESS_SHADER_WRITE in the
    <<synchronization-access-types-supported>> table.
  * Correct legal name of Google, LLC in vk.xml \<tags> section and a
    copyright statement.
  * Clarify that Vulkan treats the Android
    code:AHARDWAREBUFFER_FORMAT_R8G8B8X8_UNORM format as RGBA, and the
    application is responsible for forcing the X/A component to be read as
    1.0, in the <<memory-external-android-hardware-buffer-formats>> table.
  * Clarify the vertex order of various primitive topologies, and define the
    order of transform feedback vertex capture based on that. This involves
    a lot of refactoring and cleanup in the <<drawing-primitive-topologies,
    Primitive Topologies>>, <<geometry-input, Geometry Shader Input
    Primitives>> sections, and <<vertexpostproc-transform-feedback Transform
    Feedback>> sections, and numerous places in the <<tessellation>>
    chapter,

New Extensions:

  * `VK_EXT_metal_surface`
  * `VK_EXT_ycbcr_image_arrays` (internal issue 1361).
  * `VK_NVX_image_view_handle`

279452463a Change log for November 12, 2018 Vulkan 1.1.92 spec update:
* Update release number to 92.

Public Issues:

  * Move and modify valid usage statements dealing with pname:aspectMask in
    flink:vkCmdClearColorImage, flink:vkCmdClearDepthStencilImage, and
    slink:VkClearAttachment, so they are in places where all necessary
    information is available (public issue 529).
  * Fix math markup in <<textures-texel-anisotropic-filtering, Texel
    Anisotropic Filtering>> (public pull request 840).
  * Fix misspellings (public pull request 845).

Internal Issues:

  * Add installation instructions and a Makefile "`chunked`" target for
    chunked HTML generation (internal issue 1352).
  * Fix pipeline mesh diagram style; also fix a minor bug in the classic
    pipeline diagram where vertex/index buffers wrongly fed into the vertex
    shader (internal issue 1436).
  * Make asciidoctor ERROR output raise an error, and don't suppress
    executed command output from CI make invocation (internal issue 1454).
  * Minor typo fixes and clarifications for `VK_NV_raytracing`.
  * Cleanup extension-specific properties
  ** Remove duplicated documentation for pname:maxDiscardRectangles,
     pname:pointClippingBehavior, and pname:maxVertexAttribDivisor (they
     shouldn't be documented with the other members of
     slink:VkPhysicalDeviceLimits at all).
  ** Remove duplicate anchor for pname:maxVertexAttribDivisor
  ** Consistently document stext:VkPhysicalDevice<Extension>PropertiesKHR
  *** Always document pname:sType/pname:pNext (was inconsistent before)
  *** Always mention chaining to slink:VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2 (and not
      as slink:VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2KHR)
  *** Always include Valid Usage statements last
  * Update Makefile 'checklinks' target and associated scripts, and fix
    markup problems identified by checkLinks.py, so that we can rely on the
    checklinks script as part of Gitlab CI.

9858c1e89e Change log for September 19, 2018 Vulkan 1.1.85 spec update:
* Update release number to 85.

Public Issues:

  * Add self-dependency ename:VK_DEPENDENCY_BY_REGION_BIT valid usage
    statements for slink:VkSubpassDependency(public pull request 778).
  * Apply fix from pull request 742 to slink:VkSubpassDependency and
    slink:VkSubpassDependency2 (public pull request 779).
  * Specify the units of slink:VkBufferImageCopy::pname:bufferRowLength and
    pname:bufferImageHeight as texels (public pull request 781).
  * Better specify promoted parameter mapping in the
    `<<VK_KHR_create_renderpass2>>` appendix (public pull request 782).

Internal Issues:

  * Only include the <<fundamentals-validusage-versions, Valid Usage for
    Newer Core Versions>> section in Vulkan 1.1 or later (internal issue
    1381).

Other Issues:

  * Clean up redundant valid usage language for the
    `VK_ANDROID_external_memory_android_hardware_buffer` extension
    interaction with slink:VkImageCreateInfo.
  * Fix error in a flag name within valid usage statements for
    slink:VkMemoryAllocateInfo.
  * Clarify that memory types are not totally ordered in
    slink:VkPhysicalDeviceMemoryProperties.
  * For slink:VkWriteDescriptorSetInlineUniformBlockEXT, set
    structextends="VkWriteDescriptorSet" in `vk.xml`, and make
    slink:VkDescriptorSetLayoutBindingFlagsCreateInfoEXT::pname:pBindingFlags
    optional.
  * Add documentation of 'provisional' XML attribute to registry.txt.

New Extensions:

  * `VK_NV_compute_shader_derivatives`
  * `VK_NV_corner_sampled_image`
  * `VK_NV_fragment_shader_barycentric`
